If alien technology existed in our government labs, how would one successfully bring it to the market for human use? Trick question! All sufficiently advanced technology is alien to the market - the key for technologist founders is for them to realize that in order to commercialize successfully, they must consider their technology and their own understanding of the market is alien. With this in mind and the Handbook as a guide, technical founders will be better equipped to approach the market in a way that greatly improves success.“This book is a must-read for any technical founder ready to transform a breakthrough innovation into a market-shaping product. The Handbook for Commercializing Alien Technology takes complex ideas and turns them into clear, actionable steps, making the challenging path to commercialization engaging and achievable.
